Ovi Maps South Africa - Rubbish!

All of you coming to South Africa for the soccer WC, be warned. The Nokia maps are useless, with many many errors. I tried using mine several times, and had I been a foreigner, I would have gotten hopelessly lost.   Whilst driving from johannesburg to Cape Town recently, the routing would take me off the N1 highway, and route me way off course into the countryside! This is useless to anyone!
Nokia maps are absolute rubbish on my E72. Get a TomTom or Garmin, MUCH better.

  • South Africa maps for E52

    Unlike the 6110 Navigator, which can search for and find every street and place for the entire country, The E52 with South Africa Ovi Map search facility can find only items of interest (e.g. a few major airports, a few major cities, and bizarre things like B&Bs and some hospitals.) Otherwise search for a moderately small town, or a street by name - even in a major centre - and no matches will be found. It would appear that if a street is within about 5km of current position it will be found. If it is further away, it won't be found. If you search by moving the cursor over the map, you will find the street you are looking for labelled with the correct name, but you cannot search for and find it using either a partial or full match. This makes the GPS mapping almost useless, as you only really need it when you don't know where you are going. Interestingly, when the search fails, it reports 'cannot find offline'. I tried going online to see if that made a difference. Now, the response to searches is huge, but most of the matches are in the continental USA. Still none for the map in question , i.e. South Africa. I've looked for any setting that might be incorrectly set, but there are none. Until this can be sorted out, I have reverted to the 6110 which is nothing short of superb in comparison. Very disappointed with this glaring bug in the E52

  • Mapping for South Africa

    Hi,
    Does anyone know when we should get good mapping (street level maps, directions, POIs etc.) for South Africa? Especially with the 2010 FIFA World Cup being in SA, surely we are soon on the list of getting good maps?
    Regards,
    Rob

    are you sure ? I have detailed maps on Google Maps from a desktop browser. I can see big street names for example. What you say means that the maps for Google Maps desktop and for Google Maps Mobile are not the same. Very interesting.
    There is no street view though.

  • New Ovi Maps: version 0.1.24.114 are out (!)

    For those interested, I just noticed Nokia have just released new maps version 0.1.24.114
    Prior to this they offered version 0.1.23.112
    For those waiting on new maps, now is your chance to grab them and see if they offer improvements in what you are looking for.
    I happened to notice the new version while loading Map Loader just prior to writing this.
    Contrary to what I thought, it seems Map Loader reports the version of maps that are on the server and not the version of maps already on your phone.
    Anyway, enjoy the new maps.
    I haven't even downloaded mine but will soon

    Maps confirmed working.
    All maps are from Nokia's official Gate5 server(s).
    Main geographic regions listed below.
    I'll fill requests for the much smaller individual countries later on.
    Just wanted to get this post out here quickly for those eager to grab the new maps (and who have enough storage and bandwidth for the bigger files).

    Remember, you can always try to download your new maps with Nokia Map Loader / Maps Updater / Ovi Suite, too. The links above are only for those people that prefer to do it manually and/or can't get Nokia's software to work.
    You will need version 3 of the Nokia Ovi Maps application installed on your phone (3.01 or 3.03 or similar).
    If you have trouble getting it from Nokia, some of my previous posts have links to the map application.
    If you want to start fresh with new maps, deleting the qf file on the (root of) your memory card along with the Cities folder is the recommended way. Running the Nokia Ovi Maps application once on your phone will then re-build the Cities folder and the qf file, ready for your new maps.
    You will need to attach your phone to the computer in Mass Storage mode to extract & copy these files across. Most of these are large files (especially Europe and America), so it's only recommended for those that want major geographic regions (or the whole world on their phone). 8GB or more storage is preferred if you want all the countries that Nokia offer on your phone.
    Enjoy Nokia's new maps.

  • Newest Nokia Ovi Maps ( 0.1.25.114 ) manual downlo...

    Good news
    About a week ago I noticed Nokia released a new release version of its maps.
    Last update I noticed was back around May 14 2010 with version 0.1.24.114
    Since about 16 October 2010 the version available has been the new 0.1.25.114
    Want to install updated Ovi Maps manually? Read on.
    This is for those who have trouble with Nokia's applications, such as Ovi Suite (or those that would just prefer not to use it).
    If you normally get your maps through Nokia's Ovi Suite or any other Nokia application and are happy with it, please continue using the same method as you normally would - the procedure below is not necessary.
    Minimum requirements
    * A version of Nokia Ovi Maps 3 (or later) is needed on the phone
    * A MicroSD card in your phone with enough free space (or a phone with enough free space if it doesn't use MicroSD)
    Upgrading maps to the new version
    1) Connect the phone to the computer in Mass Storage mode (not PC Suite mode). Alternatively you may find file operations faster if you put your MicroSD card in a USB card reader. Then return it back to the phone when you are done.
    2) Back-up your cities folder on your MicroSD card to another location (DVD, computer, external hard drive, etc). Just in case.
    3) Now go ahead and delete the cities folder and qf file on the (root of) your memory card. (Make sure the MicroSD card is in the phone if it isn't already). Now run the Ovi Maps application on your phone once (so that it can re-build the cities folder and its sub-folders, along with the qf file).
    Now you have a clean folder structure with no maps. Exit the application.
    You are now ready to manually install the latest Nokia maps!
    All files below are direct off Nokia's official Gate5 server(s).
    (Gate5 is a company Nokia acquired some time ago)
    Each continent requires both the map itself and the ClientIndex file (or files) for offline searches.
    Maps for every continent are listed below. Each continent covers every country Nokia offer.

    To download all continents requires an 8GB MicroSD card (or phone storage) with most of its space free. The cities folder fills to over 6GB on your phone with everything installed.
    Australia/Oceania and Africa are both relatively small (about 130 MB each) compared to Asia (about 1 GB), America (about 1.6 GB) and Europe (about 2 GB). Larger when the zip files are extracted onto your phone.

    United Arab Emirates
    You can download as many countries or continents as you please. They will be added to your phone with no limit and no restriction (as long as you have enough storage space).
    * Maps always need to be extracted to cities\diskcache
    * Voices always need to be extracted to cities\diskcache\voices
    * Index files need to be extracted to cities\diskcache\ClientIndex (create the ClientIndex folder if it's not there)
    Overwrite any files if it asks you (mostly folder structure and a few identical files). The rest is additions.
    It's as simple as that.
    United Arab Emirates is listed under 'Asia' in Ovi Maps, so you need the Asian Index file to search offline in this region. If you are unsure which Index file you need for your country, download them all; they are fairly small and it doesn't hurt to have them all so every country you might like to install can be searched offline.
    Good luck

  • Ovi maps problem

    how can i fix it ? ? ? ? ?

    I'd just offer this for the future. Be careful with commas. In my experience they're not necessary. However, in database / spreadsheet design, commas are used to "tab" from field to field. Once you start assuming that the software thinks, using the same logic as your mind does, then you will need to be very consistent in supplying the correct number of commas.
    If you supply the wrong number of commas, the poor old database might end up looking for a city name in a field reserved for streets, or house numbers, and end up with no match.
    Also, I've had mixed success in the past by assuming that a particular Application will undestand abbreviations. I stopped long ago using Rd for Road, Ave for Avenue, and ,say, NSW for New South Wales. It might well work, but don't be surprised if it doesn't.
    Same uneven results without commas. Same uneven results using no abbreviations. Conclusion - Ovi Maps 3.03 search is just plain inconsistent.
    And on the subject of abbreviations and commas, this is a GPS sat nav application. The core of it's functionality is searching for places and then navigating to them. If it doesn't understand common ways of writing addresses (eg. Rd = Road), or common geographic abbreviations within a country (NSW = New South Wales, CA = California) then it is not fit for the purpose for which it was supposedly designed. Other GPS applications (Garmin XT for one, Google Maps another) don't have any trouble finding the locations I want, but Nokia Maps does.
    If I've helped you, you can thank me by clicking the green 'kudos' star on my post. Cheers.

  • South Africa

    Hi, I would like to find out when is Creative Cloud for Teams going to be available in South Africa, as it would be a much better solution for our company with 4 designers.

    This information is a little out of date. I just spoke to the Film and Publications Board in Johannesburg. They said that to rate an individual game, they charge R2000.00. However, in the case of cellphone games, they have made agreements with certain local suppliers to allow them to self-rate games, and with the FPB to review at intervals. This allows them not to have to pay for tiny or free games this large amount. Also, they have assisted Nokia in the set-up of the local Ovi store where games are sold for Nokia Symbian phones.
    They have explained to me that Apple has never approached them in any way to even talk about games or game ratings. So they are themselves at a loss over why Apple is not selling games here in South Africa, as many others are without any issues. This just proves that Apple is the party that is not coming to the party!
    I have submitted endless requests to Apple, and invariably their answer is (1) the developer hasn't published their game for your region (which is incorrect, as they check the "worldwide release" box or (2) They say something about iTunes Music, but we're talking about a category in the App Store.
    All this is now also true for the MAC App Store.... Which means that people won't play games on their Macs via the Mac App Store, they will have to get actual disc version instead. Or, just get a UK or US-based gift-card system going...

  • Five weeks in South Africa

    I am traveling in South Africa for five weeks starting June 30 - I'm trying to figure out the best way to use my Tour - unlocked with a SIM card or the BB global service which I've used for shorter European trips. I don't really need data - just voice and text  - any advice appreciated.
    Thank you

    This information is a little out of date. I just spoke to the Film and Publications Board in Johannesburg. They said that to rate an individual game, they charge R2000.00. However, in the case of cellphone games, they have made agreements with certain local suppliers to allow them to self-rate games, and with the FPB to review at intervals. This allows them not to have to pay for tiny or free games this large amount. Also, they have assisted Nokia in the set-up of the local Ovi store where games are sold for Nokia Symbian phones.
    They have explained to me that Apple has never approached them in any way to even talk about games or game ratings. So they are themselves at a loss over why Apple is not selling games here in South Africa, as many others are without any issues. This just proves that Apple is the party that is not coming to the party!
    I have submitted endless requests to Apple, and invariably their answer is (1) the developer hasn't published their game for your region (which is incorrect, as they check the "worldwide release" box or (2) They say something about iTunes Music, but we're talking about a category in the App Store.
    All this is now also true for the MAC App Store.... Which means that people won't play games on their Macs via the Mac App Store, they will have to get actual disc version instead. Or, just get a UK or US-based gift-card system going...

  • South Africa ACB file format Payment Medium in FICA........

    Hi Experts,
    Is there any Std Payment Medium format(T Code FQP3) available for South Africa ACB file format creation in ISU-FICA module?We are using ECC 6.0 with latest release components.
    In case of not available, how do we create a new ACB file format in FICA module? What are the Function modules available for assignment?
    Can we use DMEE to create new file format and how do we assign it to payment medium formats in FICA?
    In FICO, we have DMEE mapping available in PM formats but this option is NOT there in FICA
    Appreciate your advise. Thank you.
    Best Regards,
    B.Kartthik.
